It doesn’t matter if your destination is the next warming hut on the cross-country ski trail or a remote location on Baffin Island: Staying warm is not only a matter of survival but is a major factor in enjoying winter conditions. Katherine Breen, featured speaker and family physician, will lead this workshop in learning to stay healthy and comfortable in the outdoors. Beginning with a review of cold related injuries and illness we will use real case examples to explore the pathophysiology, prevention, and management of frostbite to hypothermia and everything in between. The course will include practical tips and tricks on how to prepare for a cold weather expedition as well as what to include in your first aid kit when traveling in the cold. Perfect your cold weather dressing skills with a review of ‘the art of layering,’ and learn how to make any cold weather activity comfortable and safe.
